I just cleaned them in these pics and although they're shiny the cleanser left a strange film. I dont use that stuff anymore though!

About 4-5 hours a piece. Thats with the Mouse doing all the hard work (machining grooves). Its by no means a quick job, but the end result is well worth it. I still have one more to polish, and all to paint.

Good luck.
